"I would like to debate you about the Common situation," O'Reilly said. "Because it's important."

Earlier, MC Bill-O clarified his stance on the rap game. "I want to make one thing very clear," he said. "On 'The Factor' we're not objecting to Common's style. We fought the good fight years ago against gangsta rappers. He's not a gangsta rapper. But now society has generally accepted all rappers."
